Blow
I wanna blow your mind.. apart, for the very first time
Yes a friend like me, who’s so accommodating and nice
I thought it was an ignorant
Do you wanna see it and I know you can’t believe it
Cause you built a career On a frame work called fear,
and you don’t wanna know
Yes you don’t wanna know, yes you don’t wanna know
Yes you don’t wanna know, yes you don’t wanna know
She’s Such a clever girl, so well read
I thought he was a modern one
open to new things, not a stone age one with a big whole,
that she could never fill up
Cause look at what you’ve got and what you’ve done and how you feel
You thought you wanted the least; it was out of your reach
And you didn’t wake to try, and you didn’t wake to try
Yes you don’t wanna know, yes you don’t wanna know

Slumming in the Shadows
It's closing up and never gonna stop
They're be filling in the gaps and pushing out us
They're smart how they take
Born to it for gods sake
No more pissing in their valleys
That have been
Walled off
Watch this space for the movers and shakers
Deemed behind doors of the money makers
Oh it's always too much
What gets cleaned up
It's never enough
To come out on top
I go to my places
Beautiful inner spaces
That are crumbling unkept and free
Untouched
It's closing up and never gonna stop
We'll be slumming in the shadows
While they're basking in the sun
Armored necks are worn for a new review
Growth indoctrinations
For his and her Queue
Oh it's always too much
what gets cleaned up
It's never enough what gets carved up
It's never enough
To come out on top

Richard
He's at the window
Close to the wire
And up on his haunches
And out or the favour
He's living insistence
Breathing silence
Waves sometimes frightened
Then balls like a lion,
Feeling the high path
That turns to defy him
He's out of his measure
On the side of a mountain
Richard locked out
Not now made him
Out of his mind again
He's lost for words
That he doesn't really have to say
Cars in the small room
Made him so happy
Like the wires he connected
To some old battery
Waits for his woman
Who's jolly and pure like
Who knits for the someone
Who looks tacky in squared stripes
The table of the cycle
Of the dose of those pills
'Cause blazing confusion
That made him feel real
Richard locked out
Not now made him
Out of his mind again
He's lost for words
That he doesn't really have to say

Head V Heart
The head blocks the heart
Begging for attention
Shouting for use
Become a stranger to our own bodies
Who's in their now
If you leave me on
I'll care for do lists
They're get done
So join up the gaps
In the endless stream
Of Chattering words
It says do and you do
But it gets more every time
An addiction for you
Feeling safe in its plan
The mind plays the game
Makes us think we are in control
Here is a thought about information
So just keep on thinking
Don't let them say that the moments of nothing
Are wasted on rest
All inspiration in us is as much to do with the heart
As with the head
Don't let your inner in you get made to feel
There's always something better to do

Honestly Happy
I'm in your heart
My perfect start
And in your dreams
Exactly as thick as thieves
My paradise don't strike twice
I had my day now go away abandon me
It's all so easy acting up like you are three
There 'ain’t no pleasing playing honestly happy
He rides along in unconscious song
Get out the way
Be nice to him cause where he's been
He doesn't know
It's all so easy acting up like you are three
There 'ain’t no pleasing playing honestly happy

All Roll Over
I Know about your cost of clemency
But come on be fair
Like your wanted to be
Would you have you on your back
But come on be just
At least let's shake hands
So look to
The night sky
And see heavenly stars
Sublime
Go to the hunting grounds
And hear they songs they sing
Of hope and freedom
They'll even shed their skins
If you just let them in
But don't steal their thunder oh no
They'll bite and kick
It's called hunger
All of our instilling's are buried deep within
Stuck in the plot of yesterday's things
So come on take our time
When there's still time
Don't rush it off like a quick copy
So look to
The night sky
And see heavenly stars
Sublime
So the butterfly flaps it's wings
In the great scheme of things
And there's one less in the bed so they all roll-over
And responsible kinds with instincts in mind
Can echo in time then roll over

From Whim To Intent
Loves not a junkie desire
Or fame for a moment of higher
Goes deeper burrowing challenging confronting it
Time has a habit of stoking the fire
That notions once set in stone
Seems forlorn out dated at the best
Love is a four letter word
Of everything and nothing at once
Understanding free falling
Joins apart together
Come take my hand and let's cherish
The short time that we have for each
Together that will never be again
Sometimes its a method of madness
Not sane tear filled then gladness
From whim to intent this journeys worth it
A reinvention

Running in Circles (2021 clemente/Hull)
Your whole identity
Was blocked out and sold to time
It's amnesia and you don't even know
Running running running running in circles
You are running in circles you are running in circles
You are
I recall those tales you told
Your life spirit
That abounded
Those vivid pictures so tangible
Now you can't feel them
Thoughts revolved
And there was no way out
I knew the key lay in your head
But some thing took it
And it won't give it back
With out the past you're no one
The future that can not begin
Now you're a child again
No one's playing hunt the man
People starring at your face
Like you're a lost race
At your face
Like you're a lost race
Without the past
You're no one
The future that has not begun
Your whole identity
Is locked out and sold to time

Planet Earth(Hull/Sousa 2022)
In our world we tell the stories
Made up by us to keep us focused
Created a God to stunt our desires
And imagined a devil from hell fire
All of life and its revelations
Like religion begets salvation
And it's all very clear
That from Neanderthal to homo sapiens
We are mostly at war
Save us oh save us
From ourselves
Before we screw it up
And eradicate all of us
Oh please
Save us oh save us
'cause we will
Fuck old planet Earth
Now we found some new dimensions
Just mathematical though our assessment
Now we are high tech, clever advanced
With our cybor profiles and our nuclear bombs
What about a revolution of mind and soul evolution
Or wait for the aliens to take us away
Before we go and do annihilate
Save us oh save us
From ourselves
Before we screw it up
And eradicate all of us
Oh please
Save us oh save us
'cause we will
Fuck old planet Earth
Fuck old planet
Earth

Silly Silly (2022)
Our time on earth
We Fill with thoughts
To Make us think
Of all the things
That mean nothing
Silly silly nothing
And all the things
That pile up
All around
That weigh us down
Silly silly silly things
But I don't know what I should do on Sundays
When I turn off I'm feeling so awake
You should just close the door on me
'Cause you won't like the things you're going to see
And precious time
As I work from home
All day long
Open end
On my phone
Busy busy busy time
And promise space
With nature things
Like mountain streams
And summers breeze
And room to breath
I see it on my silly screen
But I don't know what I should do on Sundays
When I turn off I'm feeling so awake
You should just close the door on me
'Cause you won't like the things you're going to see

Just The Ticket (2022)

Just the ticket
I found the note you wrote to say
It was a fleeting glimpse of yesterday
It's just the ticket of charred remains
Never knowing it would carry
So much weight
Always playing our part in those dark exchanges
Fantasies a thrill of the ages
You were always alone fastened to outside
Never a realise
It told of mansions so grand and blessed
And darling cars and success
But I'd have to carry the keys around
And work through the night
And have to take the load
Staying attached
Always playing our part in those dark exchanges
Fantasies a thrill of the ages
You were always alone fastened to outside
Never a realise
But dreams you can imagine
Were coated in silver
Crumble away over the hill
Go take the boom for a walk with the fuss
Wasn't my first choice
I'll get the bus
Always playing our part in those dark exchanges
Fantasies a thrill of the ages
You were always alone fastened to outside
Never a realise
